About Us:
The core programs of the Carbondale Clay Center are weekly classes, workshops, community outreach, and the artist residency program. Fundraising events and activities take up the rest of the time of daily life at the Clay Center.
The yearly schedule includes weekly classes, 2-4 workshops, three major fundraising events: Cajun Clay Night (May); Benefit Cup Auction (November), Holiday Show and Student Sale (December). Ongoing are various types of special use activities that utilize the Clay Center facility. The Clay Center is an active and lively place, and we believe there is both the potential, and need, for its programs and facilities to grow.
Vision:
Carbondale Clay Center welcomes all to explore the art of ceramics, from the casually curious to the established artist. Clay is a universal language connecting us to people, cultures and world history. Knowledge of ceramic processes is shared through class and workshop offerings, residencies, lectures, gallery exhibits, and programs that reach out to schools and special groups. The Center is committed to a learning environment that is supportive and exciting.
